We’re Building Something New
The Challenge
- Overwhelmed by competing research and evolving expectations
- Unsure who to trust or where to begin
- Struggling to bridge coursework with the realities of higher education
The Opportunity
- Clarity on what the research says and how to use it
- Practical support to align instruction with the science of reading
- Tools and training that connect coursework to Pre-K-12 success
- A community of higher-ed leaders working together toward real change
Together, we can prepare future teachers to make every minute of reading instruction count for every student.
